The conductor finished his fare-taking and

'"All right. De Soto! All right, De Sotor -

the conductor asked himself, and he finally

Henrr Ward Reeohers Death.

The comments upon Henry Ward
Beecher's character and career will vary
greatly, but no one will deny that ne
possessed uncommon ability, or that he
was great orator and a great preacher.
For forty years he was the most conepicu-
Gus religious teacher in this country.
He held his position not more by his
learning and oratorical ability than by
his originality and versatility. The fresh
ness OF his thought was remarkable, and
during the whole of his ministry there
never was a time when there was sus-
piclon that his resources were about ex-
hausted.
1t is true that after the Tilton episode
his popularity decreased somewhat, but
that was not because OF any indication OF
falling Intellectual vigor, but OF a doubt
of the purity OF his life. His advanced
views also, on several religious questions,
to which he gave expression IN the last
few years of his ministry, alienated many
OF those who were once his sincere ad-
! mirers.
There are many who think that II would
| have been better for hls fame il he had
died at the end OF twenty five years Of mis-
| occupancy Of the pulpit Of Plymouth
church. His best work was undoubtedly
done during that period, and while he was
| always liberal and progressive in his
views respecting all matters, there was,
| up to the time that the shadow Of the
great scandal fell upon him, an elevated
| tone in his writings and sermons and a
| purity In his everyday doinGs and con-
| versation so marked that he won his way
into the hearts OF tEose who came within
his influence without an apparent effort.
! But only that which was great and
good in the man will be chiefly remem-
bered. His faults, whatever they may
have been. will be buried with him. Even
| those whose pens were dipped in gan
when they wrote of him and his affairs
VIII cease their warfare now that he is
no longer able to strike back or feel the
sting OF attack.
he bad big heart as well as big
| brain. He made money easily and scat
tered 1t freely. He valued gold for the
comforts it would purchase and for the
| good he could do with 1t. His charity
was not OF the picayune sort. He gave
freely and continuously, and, conse.
quentiy, though his annual income for
nearly forty years was fully 100000, there
were times when he was actually in need
of ready money.
He looked like the strong man that he
was. From his thirtieth to his 6ftieth
year be was very handsome man. After
the latter period his face became heavier,
but it lost none of its strength. Indeed,
the increasing lines upon it seemed to
more clearly indicate the powerful mind
Of which it was the index.
He bad two works in hand when
death summoned him, both of which he
had every reason to expect a few days
ago he would hive to finish. One was the
second volume OF his Life OF Christ"
and the other was his autobiography. His
"Life Of Christ" will never be finished,
and another and perhaps less critical
hand will write the story of his life. But
no biographer can carve for him the nichs
he is te occupy in the temple OF fame. He
carved it himself, and the world knows
where it is.

SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY MARCH 9, 1887
The Drummers' Tax Illegal.

Comm erciai travellers have finally sue
ceeded in securing a decision from the
highest court in the land declaring that
the drummers' tax, imposed by many
towns in different parts OF the country, is
illegal. The facts OF the case in which
this decision was rendered are as follows:
A Cincinnati drummer sold goods in Men,
pbis, Tenn, without the license which
that city requires drummers to pay before
doing business within her limits. He was
arrested and fined. He appealed the case
to the Supreme Court OF Tennessee, and
that tribunal sustained the decision Of
the lower court. The case was then taken
to the Supreme Court OF the United States,
and the point was made that the Memphis
ordinance, based upon State law, was
unconstitutional, because it provided for
lax on interstate commerce. The point
was sustained, as appears from Wash
ington dispatch in the MORNING NEWS
yesterday.
The aim OF the drummers' tax In most
instances is not to raise revenue, but to
protect local merchants, many Of whom
contend that the merchants OF distant
cities ought to help to bear the expenses
| OF the governments Of the towns in which
they do business by means of drummers.
This argument has, OF course, some foun-
dation in justice, but the argument
against the tax is much stronger than
one In favor Of it. There is no doubt that
drummers are great convenience to the
merchants and a great benefit to the towns
which they visit. They save merchants
the necessity for going frequently to the
great centres to make purchases, and the
competition between them, due to their
efforts TO secure business, cheapens goods
and benefits the people generally.
| The MORNING NEWS has always OPP
posed the drummers' tax, and argued
against it when there was such a tax in
this city. Indeed, it was mainly through
its efforts that the tax here was repealed.
and it is gratified to see the position,
which it has so earnestly maintalhed,
sustained by the United States Supreme
! Court.
There should be as few distractions
to business OF all kinds as possible. The
fewer there are the better it is for the
people. Laws which hamper business
check prosperity and paralyze the busl-
ness energies of the communities in
which they exist. Every town which
has a drummers' tax should at once re-
| peal 1t.

Railroad Construction.

POOr's Manual reports the total rail-
road construction, in the United States,
in 1885, at S,64S miles, and estimates that
during the present year, ''unless some
serious revulsion should occur to reverse
plans now entertained" the constr NC.
! ton will amount to not less than $4,000
miles, causing an outlay for labor alo ne
exceeding $500, 600, 600. The construction
last year was divided among the different
sections as follows: New England, Al
miles; Middle States, 374.4S miles; Gen.
trail Northern group, which includes
Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois and
Wisconsin, 1921. 81 miles; South Atlantic
group, 1,0l8.93 miles; Mississippi Valley
group, $685. miles; Southwestern group,
2,427.11 miles; Northwestern gro up,
2,57S,l miles; Pacific group, 637 95 miles.
1t is worthy of notice tn at the railroad
system of New England seems to be CON-
plete. No new railroads we're con-
structed last year in the States OF Vsr-
mont, Rhode Island and Connecticut, and
In the others but forty-one miles. While
this is true of New England, it is far from
being true OF the South. In nearly every
Southern State there is remarkable ac-
tivity in railroad construction. Many
new lines of very great Importance have
been projected, chartered and begun.
This is especially true OF Georgia, Ten.
nessee, Alabama and Texas. The out
look Is that of the 1900 miles which
| Poor's Manual estimates will be con-
structed this year, at least half will be in
these four States. A large number ofrail-
roads have been chartered that will
never be constructed, but they are of
comparatively little Importance. The
policy has been to grant charters when.
ever they have been asked, and this has
schemes OF questionable value. But such
| schemes will not in any way interfere
with the construction of important lines.
1t has frequently been said that the best
evidence Of progress is activity in rail-
road construction. This is certainly true
in the South. The lines under construc.
ton have a reason for their existence
The increased activity in industrial pur-
suits, and especially in mining and man.
ufacturing, has caused a demand for bet
ter railroad facilities. Then, in turn, the
new lines will stimulate trade and min
ing and manufacturing, so that there will
be union OF forces helping the South
onward and upward. There is no reason
to doubt that the star Of empire has in.
deed turned toward the South.
